Description
Leviathan stands as one of the most formidable creatures in Magic: The Gathering history, originating from the 1994 The Dark expansion. This iconic card features a mana cost of nine and delivers a massive 10/10 power and toughness, making it a dominant force on the battlefield. Designed by artist Mark Tedin, the card captures the essence of the game's early fantasy aesthetic with its distinct blue border and creature type classification. The mechanics of Leviathan are unique among its peers. It enters the game tapped, immediately impacting the turn structure. Its upkeep ability allows players to sacrifice two Islands to untap the creature, offering strategic depth for mana-intensive decks. Additionally, it possesses trample, ensuring that excess damage can reach the opponent's life total. These rules create a high-risk, high-reward dynamic that has defined its legacy in competitive play. Collectors often seek out this card for its historical significance within the early Magic: The Gathering sets. Leviathan remains a staple for enthusiasts of the blue color identity and those interested in the foundational design of the trading card game.
